Upgrading Today's Terminals for Tomorrow's Needs
This paper describes how a 1940's vintage, timber pile supported wharf is being modernized to serve post-Panamax ships: how the Massachusetts Port Authority (MASSPORT) is rebuilding their...
Recycled Materials for Port Construction
The concept of utilizing recycled materials is presented. Types of materials which may be applicable are described, as well as, typical projects utilizing these materials....
Terminal Asphalt Patching: An Innovative Approach
Asphaltic concrete has dominated the terminal industry as the pavement of choice for years. It is readily available and economical to install but requires considerable maintenance expense....
Historic Seawalls of the Boston Harbor, Massachusetts Region: Evolution, Construction and Repair
The earliest seawalls in the Boston region were of crib construction. Cobb cribs had an open framework and could readily be floated into position and sunk with rock from local sources....
An Overview: Wetland Restoration, Protection, and Establishment by Beneficially Using Dredged Material
Dredged material has been used beneficially by mankind for many years; in the past two decades it has purposely been used to restore and protect existing wetlands, and to establish new...
Extended Experience with a Short-Term Hydropower Scheduling Model in New England
The New England Power Exchange (NEPEX) is responsible for the central dispatch of power throughout New England. To assure the maximum benefits of power pooling, the electric facilities...
Engineering Aspects of Wetland Design
Successful wetland enhancement, restoration, or creation projects require integration of desired wetland functions, local hydrologic and soil conditions, and biological requirements into...
Highway Construction and a Trout Stream Relocation
In 1970, a ten-mile section of Traffic Route 15 in the northern portion of Lycoming County extending into Tioga County was under design as a two-lane limited access highway on four lane...
Optimal Capacity Expansion in Multi-Aquifer Systems
A deterministic optimization model is presented for analyzing the capacity expansion policies in multi aquifer systems. The response of the system is included in the optimization model...
A Multi-objective Criteria Analysis for Alternative Route Planning
A multi-objective criteria analysis was used to identify a proposed rail spur route with the optimal combination of low environmental impact, favorable engineering characteristics and...
Building a Pipeline?Not a Flow Through Process
This paper will illustrate that the planning, design, and construction of a 32-mile water supply pipeline from Stockton Lake to Springfield involves more than just digging a trench, placing...
Environmental Management Issues in Developing Countries of Southeast Asia
Acknowledging the escalating concerns regarding the environmental impact of water resource projects, a serious effort must be made to identify and review environmental issues which directly...
The Total System Solution
Most pipeline reconstruction programs carried out to date have been crisis driven or reactive instead of system wide approaches to problem solving. Two tools have been devised to change...
Development of a Phase I Prescriptive Reservoir Model
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has recently developed a Phase I generalized prescriptive reservoir model referred to as HEC-PRM. The purpose of the...
Managing Existing Reservoirs to Meet New Challenges
The current planning and management environment for many reservoirs differs significantly from the situation which existed when the projects were initially planned and constructed. Yet,...
Proposed Development of South Central Florida Hydrologic Ecosystem Model
The Corps of Engineers has been authorized to develop and operate a simulation model of the hydrologic ecosystem of central and south Florida. This ecosystem is fragile and complex, and...
Planning, Assessing and Implementing Pipeline Rehabilitation Options
